Houston Astros SP Ryan Sadowski has signed a deal to pitch with the Lotte Giants of the Korean League during the 2010 season, according to NPB Tracker's Patrick Newman. Sadowski had joined the Astros as a free agent earlier this offseason after playing for the San Francisco Giants in 2009, but was apparently let out of his contract.

San Francisco Giants SP Ryan Sadowski (shoulder, arm) allowed one run on three hits over four innings Friday, July 31, against the Philadelphia Phillies, according to The Associated Press. He walked three and struck out three, falling to 2-4 on the season. Sadowski left the game after feeling some tightness in his shoulder and arm.
